Common mistakes

  • You rotate the hips and torso to fake extra range instead of keeping them square to the wall.

  • You whip the leg fast, which tightens the adductors instead of opening them.

  • You let the standing side collapse instead of staying tall over that leg.

What to focus on

  • Keep the hips facing the wall the whole time so the swing truly opens the inner thigh.

  • Stay controlled and let the width of the swing increase a little with each pass.
